Installation

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure you have the Rust toolchain installed. If you haven't, the best way is via rustup.rs.

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Installing the CLI

RustAPI comes with a powerful CLI to scaffold projects. Install it directly from crates.io:

cargo install cargo-rustapi

Verify your installation:

cargo-rustapi --version

Adding to an Existing Project

If you prefer not to use the CLI, you can add RustAPI to your Cargo.toml manually:

cargo add rustapi-rs@0.2.0

Or add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
rustapi-rs = "0.2.0"

Editor Setup

For the best experience, we recommend VS Code with the rust-analyzer extension. This provides:

• Real-time error checking
• Intelligent code completion
• In-editor documentation
